TREATS

When you're back of beyond you have to treat alot of  "TAKEN FOR GRANTED STUFF"  like:
                 Gas, Batteries, Toilet Paper, Apples, Butter, Pepsi, Coffee, Canned Ham
                                   AS TREATS!!!!  Use a little and you'll still have some in May.
                                   Because when you're OUT..... YOU"RE REALLY OUT!!!

                  Now you might say...."Bring in More..... but it's the storing of all that stuff.

  You learn to only use the generator when absolutely needed.   The coffee is just 1/4 cup in a large coffee pot.  The canned ham is divided into 3 parts and two are frozen.  The apples get sorted every 3 weeks.  The toilet paper.....use half what you think you need each time.  The pepsi.... 12 cans last over the whole time.
Keep the butter just for bread, potatoes and veggies.  Use Crisco for everything else calling for butter/marg.

Saturday night treat.  Right one is canned ham and Pineapple.  Left is canned chicken with Barbecue Sauce

 Treats like Pizza, Chinese food, Hamburger Buns, Wine, Beer..... you have to learn to make yourself.
